The train is moving, yet today the shaking of the train does not feel good.
My mind is filled only with unease.

So many people are passing in front of my eyes, yet I feel very lonely.

In my head, only the thoughts of those people are present who judge everything about a person by exam results.

I thought that even if my exam result was bad, no matter what society said, at least my family would stay by my side.

But in reality, today my father and mother became strangers.

Their thorn-like words kept floating in front of my eyes.

“How many times did I tell you to study properly? But you didn’t listen. You only roamed around with friends. That’s why this is your result today.”

At the same time, the two lines my mother said felt like thorns in my chest.

“Because of you, we are embarrassed in front of everyone. Did we give birth to you for this day? Get out of my sight and never come back. If you leave, nothing will happen to me.”

After hearing this, I couldn’t look at my mother’s face.

In a moment, I became their biggest burden.

Silently, I went to my room, closed the door, and sat on a chair quietly.

My head could not think properly. My mother’s words kept hissing in my ears.

After sitting for a while, I took my school bag and wallet and left the house.
When I came to the station, it was 4 PM.

At that time, only one train was there, and it was the last train.

I got on it. I didn’t know where it would go, but I wanted to go to an unknown city.

I sat beside the window and looked outside.

Still, my mind felt restless.

Suddenly, I realized I didn’t even know how far the train would go.

I took out my phone and checked. The train was going to Chittagong.

Without thinking, I bought a ticket to Chittagong.

Only one thought was spinning in my head — I want to go somewhere people don’t judge others by results.

After sitting for a long time, I looked outside again. Evening had come. The sun was almost set.

Darkness slowly covered everything.

Sleep came to my eyes.

Once I sleep, morning will come with a new city.

While the train kept moving, I slowly fell asleep.
